Color Outside

We've all been taught to color inside the lines. Right? But what happens if you color outside the lines? You get a different type of art.  Draw two squares.  Color inside one of the squares. Next, color around the outside of the second square.  You now have two different creative forms of art.  You get a different perspective if you color outside the lines.

Character Art

I want to share an amazing art created by my student.  She did a wonderful job drawing this character.  Draw your favorite character.  Start with a sketch then add details & color.

Glitter Stars

Stars at night are magical & we often wish upon a star.  Create your own star scene using black cardstock, glitter, and glue.  Swirl glue on the cardstock.  Sprinkle the glitter on the glue.  Shake off the excess glitter.  Let the design dry.  Draw a moon to complete the scene.

Fall Leaf Theme

Leaves are beginning to change color for this fall season.  Look around for your favorite colored fall leaf.  Place the leaf on a sheet of paper.  Trace around the outside of the leaf.  Draw a fall season theme inside the traced outline. 

Bright Smile

The color yellow makes me happy.  Happiness brings a smile.  What color would you choose to make your happy smile?

Rock Art

I have collected many types of rocks over the years.  Some were smooth & some had nice forms & colors.  Pick up a rock that you find.  Look at the rock to see if you can turn the rock into a form of art.  Create the art on the rock using any art medium of your choice.  Display your creation on your desk or table.

Rainbow Colors

The colors of a rainbow are a great source for inspiration.  Draw an object that represents each color of the rainbow.  Use chalk, paint, markers, or your favorite art supply to create your magical rainbow of colors.
